Wordpress Sub directory to root move

Question

Im trying to move a WP installation from a sub directory to the root. Ive done this plenty of times on other sites but im having a bit of an issue. I move the wp-* folders and files to root.

From: site.com/new/

To: site.com

I changed the WP Address and site address to not have the sub. When I go to view the site it redirects to site.com/newsletter/

I have no idea what is going on here.

Answer 1

Check your .htaccess file.

Change these two lines.

RewriteBase /newsletter/ 

to

RewriteBase /

and

RewriteRule . /newsletter/index.php [L]

to

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
